Medium
and paranormal investigator Arabella Pierce is sent with her crew to
Kingston Cottage, a haunted Maine seafarer’s cottage on an isolated
island. For this investigation, her boss has stuck them with
skeptical reporter Lucas Brown. Though he’s hot as they come,
Arabella can’t trust a man whose sole job is to discredit her and
the work she does. Not after what happened with the last few
skeptics…

All
Lucas may want is the truth, but that doesn't change her feelings
towards him. And when the ghosts appear, she and Lucas must work
together—in tight quarters—to convince the resident ghosts to
move on before a storm strands the entire crew on the island. Can
Arabella put aside her prejudices long enough to see what the ghosts
are trying to tell her? And if she does, will she and Lucas have a
shot at a lifetime?

He
nodded. “The owners contacted me last week, and informed me they
need to sell the house as soon as possible. They want to put it on
the market this month, due to personal reasons. In order to do that,
they need to know what’s inside … and how to get rid of it.”

“No
one has ever been allowed to investigate it…” she trailed off in
awe.

Folger
smiled. “Until now.”

She
couldn’t help but return his smile. The feeling of a fresh,
no-one-else-has-done-it kind of hunt was too much of a thrill to pass
up. Historic Kingston Cottage was located on a small island, all by
itself, and had been rumored to be haunted since before Arabella was
born. She had seen pictures and taken boat rides past the island, but
she’d never set foot on the private property.

“When
do we have to be at the docks?” she inquired as she stood, grabbing
her coat off the back of the chair.

“Seven
o’clock tomorrow morning. Don’t be late. Dustin is taking you
over. But, Arabella—” She looked at him, knowing that tone. “It’s
just going to be you, the reporter, Nick, and Lena. I need the rest
of the crew on a different hunt.”

She
paused at the door. Nick was one of their tech guys, and Lena was a
lead investigator, like Arabella. Five more investigators rounded off
the team. But the more she thought about Folger’s decision to use a
small crew, the more it made sense, especially within the limited
space of the cottage. “Nick and Lena,” she began, “do they know
about the … ‘reporter’?”

Folger
rolled his eyes, clearly hearing the quotation marks in her tone.

“Yes.
I asked them not to speak of it until I talked to you myself. I think
that was best, don’t you?”

Arabella
chose to ignore the rolling eyes. “And the reporter?”

“He’ll
be there at seven sharp as well. His name’s Lucas Brown, and he’s
a serious reporter.”

She
nodded slowly, not really believing him. “I’ll check in when we
get there.”

“Please
do, and be sure to pack extra clothes. You know how storms brew up
suddenly here. I don’t want you all stranded without necessities.
The owners left you some food. Expect to be on the island at least
three days, maybe four. Oh, and there’s also a generator in the
basement if you lose power.”

“Good
to know, and it was nice of them to leave some food.”

“Yes.
They’re good people.”

She
found it a bit strange that the crew wasn’t going to meet the
owners before the investigation, and stranger still that she had
never met them. Noble was a small town along the central Maine
coast—it was pretty rare not to put a name to a face.

“Oh,
and Arabella,” Folger called as she left his office. “Try not to
push him into the bay.”

Interview

Where are you from?

Vermont

Tell us your latest news?

Books two and three of the Revenant Investigations
series should be out in the next couple of months!

When and why did you begin writing?

I wrote my first story when I was five, and haven’t
stopped writing since. I love reading—I read voraciously—and that love led to
my desire to write and share my own stories.

When did you first consider yourself a writer?

The moment I wrote that first story when I was five.
It was about rabbits :)

What inspired you to write your first book?

The first book I wrote that I considered publishing
was inspired by my love of vampires and werewolves. I wanted to write something
different than what I was reading. That story got trunked, but I am working on
revising it so I can share it with the world.

Do you have a specific writing style?

Not really, no.

How did you come up with the title?

Ghosts
of Kingston Cottage takes place on an isolated island. That
island is named after the Kingston family, who lived on the island in a small
cottage. So the title reflects that history.

Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp?

I just want readers to enjoy the story, and if they
get something out of the love stories within that helps them in some way that’s
just an extra bonus.

How much of the book is realistic?

I think the issues that both my heroine and hero,
plus the ghosts they encounter, are dealing with are very real issues that a
great deal of people have faced. And I hope that helps my readers connect to my
characters.

Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life?

No.

What books have most influenced your life most?

There have been many books that have touched my life
in some way—we’ll be here all day if I try to name them all. But some of them
are: The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice, Dracula by Bram Stoker, the Shannara
series by Terry Brooks, and The Hobbit
by JRR Tolkien.

If you had to choose, which writer would you
consider a mentor?

That’s a hard one! I actually don’t think I can
answer it.

What book are you reading now?

I am reading Autumn
Thorns by Yasmine Galenorn.

Are there any new authors that have grasped your
interest?

Victoria Davies. She’s not a new author, but a new-to-me author. I just got hooked on
her Fated Match series.

What are your current projects?

I am currently getting ready for edits for Revenant
Investigations books two and three. I just signed a contract for book two in my
Green Mountain Shifters series. I have a story in an anthology coming out in
February, and a full length paranormal romance coming out towards the end of
May.

What would you like my readers to know?

If you enjoy ghosts and shifter love stories, my
books should be right up your alley! Many of them are novellas and Romance on
the Go stories—quick, sizzling, delightful reads that you can enjoy when you’re
short on time.
